    Experience is the hardest kind of teacher. It gives you the test first and the lesson later.

    If you have a wounded heart, touch it as little as you would an injured eye. There are only two remedies for the suffering of the soul:
    Hope and Patience.

    Sorrow looks back,

    worry looks around,

    faith looks up.




    Contentment isn't getting what we want but

    being satisfied with what we have.



    The smallest deed is better

    than the greatest intention.



    Hugs and God Bless,
    Cherie

    The jump is so frightening between where

    I am and where I want to be. But for all

    I may become, I will close my eyes and leap!

    Laughter is a tranquilizer

    with no side effects.


    You are never so high as

    when you are on your knees.


    You cannot do a kindness too soon, because

    you never know how soon it will be too late.



    Hugs and God Bless,

    Thoughts


    Time is precious. So precious that
    it is only given to us moment
    by moment.

    Sometimes it is necessary for us to speak.
    At other times it is important that we
    be quiet. Wisdom comes with knowing
    the differencence

    Listen to those that have wisdom..dwell on what they say.. Listen to God in your heart.. Then ..wisdom may come your way

    My life is made peaceful...something I thought I would not ever find. My family is large, loud, and often taxing. It was easy, all I had to do was learn to forgive. Old hurts, new hurts, myself, till I emptied myself out of all the dirty clutter and filled up with the light and love of the holy spirit.
